    I live in Okotoks, AB and it appears as though there’s a mania phase going on right now, huge speculation at least. Homes are selling in as little time as a few days on market and sellers are getting up to $75k over list price. It’s absolutely crazy and I can’t see how this can continue. A lot of speculators from Toronto and Vancouver areas. Prices in some cases are up $100k from last year.

      Enjoy.... Ontario's RE market was destroyed by this behavior. Ontario prices are now finally coming down a bit or at least stagnating. In some areas there was apparently a 20% drop since the peak in 2022, I have yet to see such areas. I guess I was focussed on finding a house in an area that basically never really dropped in price and is holding on strong now. A lot of rural areas in Ontario continue to do well, like east along the major highway 401... prices have barely budged in that direction since the peak. But there are the rare finds in more expensive properties, where if a seller needs to sell fast for whatever reason, a generous discount is provided. It is the lower to medium-priced properties that are not moving much, since that is where the bulk of the buyers is buying, e.g. I am seeing properties once listed for 1.5 million eventually selling for as low as 1 million, yet they either are a more luxurious home or offer the added value of huge acreage, yet houses originally priced at $999,900 of poorer quality, no added value ultimately sell with no discount or a couple thousand dollars less. So those who can afford anything over a million, can now get some good "deals" and pull prices down to the same as medium-end homes. But Jon won't tell you that here...

      @@tff40 You're right, prices are coming back to the mean, I understand your point, which means that there are some adequately priced properties out there now. I see them and if I needed to buy (I don't, I already own), I would feel comfy buying some of the ones I have on my saved list, knowing they have added value (acreage, location, solid structure, or additional garage etc), have come down from another planet back to Earth and are more in sync with the current costs to build (taking into account age, like with a used car). I see "pockets' of unaffordable and affordable properties in Ontario, so it all comes down to location and if people are able to WFH, commute, etc. We are all basically generalizing here in these forums, and then the point gets lost are people start accusing each other of exaggerating or being out of touch with reality. What's wrong is the way Jon presents his data in a generalized manner which make some all excited that a crash is coming while others can clearly see around themselves that houses continue to sell, and are selling for more and more each year, no promised drop. These forums are in fact toxic.

    After a few years of looking, I have only found one good realtor, and one good mortgage broker. Because, once I found the good ones, I stopped looking. That way, you will always find more bad ones than good ones. The bad ones tend to be in-your-face (marketing), and the good ones you have to approach after a recommendation (reputation).

I like the idea of buying a multi family, where I would live in one unit and rent out the others. But I don't want to be the landlord. I would look into using a property manager for the rental unit.

      I did the same a few years ago. Smoothest transaction I've ever had (cost me $2,000 to get an MLS listing and the photos through a company here) and no pressure from a listing realtor - although same thing with rude realtors calling to tell me how I had to use a realtor (I offered $5,000 commission for a buyer's realtor - some told me to stuff it but others were fine with it. I sold to someone without a realtor). I sold again recently with a realtor only because I wanted to buy subject to the sale of my house. It was terrible - arguments around the price, super put out over showing me listings until I listed my house, then refusing to pull my listing when my mother died citing that there was so much interest it could sell any day (to which I said that that was what I was afraid of as I'd been away for weeks and not had time to look). I got an offer right after I returned from the funeral. I could have fought him over it but didn't have the energy and now regret it as house prices are going up fast here and I am now renting. I'll never use a realtor again as I have done it 3 times now and each time they just did what they wanted and would not listen to my direction.

    What people don’t understand is that flat nominal price means big loss for homeowners in real terms: if you have a mortgage, the carrying cost (interest, tax etc.) are not covered by rent and capital appreciation, if you don’t have a mortgage, you would gain more selling your home and keeping your money invested, even on a saving account. Prices will be flat but lose 50% in real terms in the coming decade.

The RE markets is literally too big to crash in Canada, and as the BOC just pointed out, our economic activity is at crisis levels now, and why? Because the RE market is not as productive (not just sales, but development) due to high rates and the RE market is one of the biggest contributors to our GDP. Our gov is too addicted to the RE market churning up taxes and profits to fluff the GDP numbers up to let it fall. Rates will come down sooner than expected, IMHO, to keep RE activity going with a lot of smoke and mirrors in the press making it look like our gov cares to make housing more affordable.

Perhaps west of the GTA is different... ??

      Several EU countries holding their own currency have been a few steps ahead of us the whole time with rate hikes and now with cuts. Some of these EU countries ran the rates up to 7%, which was great for savings but put a halt to the RE market, which was much needed. Prices barely came down and now with rate cuts of 75 basis points within 3 months, things are heating up again, the number of new mortgages taken out is climbing again after almost two years of minimum activity. The warning out there is that a major psychological barrier for buyers on the sideline seems to be 4%, so once mortgage rates are 4%, the majority will jump back in. Central bank rates don't have to be that low, banks are already offering "deals" on mortgage rates. So I am looking out east of us to see what happens to the RE market in EU countries facing similar problems (huge influx of immigrants from Ukraine and elsewhere), prompting investors to buy condos to turn into rentals. Canadians also have a psychological barrier, a magic number that they are willing to accept for a tolerable mortgage rate and it is that rate that will bring the buyers back off the sidelines and my guess is it won't be pretty if the majority have a similar budget - lower to middle-end homes. Prices in this range will go up while prices on higher end homes might continue to come down, creating an ironic situation - crapshacks for over $800,000 and yet you can get a solid good quality home with acreage for just a tad above a million, but can't get a mortgage for it. That $700-900,000 category will be brutal....

It became such a nauseating process every other weekend, packing a picnic lunch and heading 2 hours out of the GTA. We got a 33% discount on our property, thanks to it being on the market for over half a year, starting way too high. I guess it was just meant to be for us. I have mentioned this here before but someone here does not like me pointing it out and my comment gets shadowed. Prices have come down and are starting to stagnate or bump up again a bit, they are well above 2019 prices though. The best "deals" are to be found on above-standard properties, where there are less buyers at the moment. This is the only reason we got lucky - practically no competition on better quality rural homes above a million. If sellers really need to sell, they will come down and provide an interesting opportunity. Our two and a half years of house-hunting paid off. So sorry Jon, but there really are good deals out there right now, you just need to break it down and not generalize everything into a doomsday video.

    Investors are still in denial about the fundamentals of the economy. They expect rares will soon be cut and believe the topline GDP numbers signal a strong economy. However, they dont. Credit card balences are maxed out, more credit is hard to come by for consumers, a ton of companies are about to beforced into refinancing their debs at far higher interest and the regional bank backstop program is out this month. There's also the fact that inflation ticks higher than expected every single time the markets believe a rate cut is around the corner and a rate cut would cause a surge in inflation. The fed sees this stuff, guys. The only wild card for us investors is to actively engage the market by trading, we always over complicate things when we speculate. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months...

Had to threaten to go to police & charge the realtor with theft before I finally got my $18K back from his slimy crooked hands. Lawyer did absolutely nothing but hang up on me. Lesson learned, only trust yourself, check everything, do everything yourself.

    Hi Jon, love your videos and have become a recent subscriber since I started looking for a home in January. Where I’m looking, in Windsor Ont, I feel like things often seem out of synch with the rest of the country and even the province. So on the one hand I see this video and some of your others saying this is normal spring uptick in prices, and even that it’s not as high as previous years, on the other I have my agent, my family, and even the dog saying “oh no, the prices are only going to get worse. We have the battery plant coming, the Amazon fulfillment centre, and loads of international students”. What’s your opinion on that? Is it fear mongering? How worries should I actually be? I’d love it if you could mention in your next video if it’s worth it. Thanks!

Prices on low to medium-end homes are going to be the hardest hit with prices going back up once buyers return to the market with a similar budget. There will be bidding wars over this category. Those who can afford better, will do well, as higher end homes will compete for buyers and need to make prices more interesting. There are already some interesting finds out there and for comparison - crap houses for around $800,000 selling fast since the majority can get a mortgage for them, but quality homes over a million take longer to sell, no competition among buyers and ultimately sell with generous discounts, getting you way more bang for your buck a tad above a million (GTA and anywhere within 90 minutes of the GTA).
